  1. The and lines are only routes that still have R42s, best to look for them during rush hour.
  2. I don't think crews on any NTT dominant line want SMEE's back lol. I guess the R46 might be the exception since I heard those have good cab comfort.
  3. In addition to loop poles, the 143s are getting new LED lights..
  4. LMAO you took a boat to photograph the 179s at 207th. Unique perspective though. Rowing seems like a fun hobby with good exercise.
  5. Why can't you buy HBLR single tickets on the Mytix app? It only allows you to purchase a monthly on the 19th. It's funny as NLR allows you to buy single tickets on the app. I fanned the 25 today and took me several tries just to log in, app is very glitchy today it seems. As for the 25, those headways are lovely..
  6. You can do that too. BBP is kinda big, even though both the B25 and B63 both go to BBP they are no where near each other.
  7. B25 bus, take the to Jay St Metrotech and transfer to the B25 there.
  8. Yes. While their not 75 footers Look how fast the museum Arnines were on CPW last year, so age doesn't matter. If one thinks 75 footers are slow just ride SIR R44s which are quite fast. The SIR 44 seem to still have the field shunting, they clearly accelerate far faster than the SMEEs running in the subway today.
  9. The 68s should be on the rather than the & not because of silly railfan grudges but because the has the same two terminals 24/7 where's Astoria terminal swaps cars... Why they still have SMEEs on the / lines despite the fact that that terminal swaps trains like Flatbush does will always be an mystery..
  10. An MTA bus was vandalized in June by teenagers... https://pix11.com/2019/08/09/girls-throw-a-chair-bricks-rocks-at-bus-in-the-bronx-after-being-told-to-get-off-police/
  11. I got caught in that train service change.. trains were terminating at E105th and relaying in the yard commuter rail style...
  12. Dude is the Queens version of PinepowerLI... I stumbled upon his videos a while back and he nitpicked the smallest things about QV buses 😄 I never had an problem with an QV bus so their good in my book.
  13. Freight trains run on the Hudson line but IDK an specific time of when a freight will show up on the Hudson. Bound Brook on NJT raitian valley line is the best spot for fanning freights in the NYC area.. not my video below but it's an example of what to expect there..
  14. LIRR: Woodside, Forest Hills Metro North: 125th street
  15. They was supposed to hit revenue service in May IIRC. I heard their now expected to hit service in August, we'll see...
  16. I planned to visit Ferry Point Park and ride the BX42 to the last stop near that park since I never been out there, two things to check off the bucket list. Anyway I ride BX42 to the last stop in Thorggs Neck and there isn't an entrance to the park there. On the bus map it looks like you could just easily stroll into ferry point park from the BX42 terminal when that isn't the case. Its just bushes behind a fence there and the entrance to the actual park is somewhere else. Cool little neighborhood though, seen parts of the BX I never seen before. The portion of the BX42 between the train stop and Throggs Neck terminal kinda reminds me of South BK/Mill Basin/Canarsie, etc.
  17. This is terrible news as I'm a regular user of the WIFI on buses, bum ass MTA I hope Cuomo stops this like he did the train shutdown.
  18. The old south ferry on the ... whenever they have an weekend G.O where the or ends at Bowling Green. The they fumigate the train at Bowing Green.
  19. 6614 demoted to swing bus, in the windshield of the bus has a paper saying "Palor bus not for service".
  20. The Arnines have fans so that makes them more bearable than say, an 62A or post GOH 32 with broken A/C.
  21. The D60s don't exist anymore, they have all been chopped up and turned into soda cans already.
  22. The only flaw the R62/62A cars have is their A/C units break down a lot, otherwise, there's nothing wrong with those cars. I think both the 62s and 62A's can easily do 50 years of service without breaking a sweat, if only they found a way to make their A/C units more reliable...
